Bluetooth is a registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG Issue10 Wigauge User Leaflet Page 7

8 2. Installing a Gauge Head The WHT is designed to interface to industry standard gauge heads. The standard WHT unit will interface directly to an M10 x1 threaded gauge head; M6 x0.75 and threaded gauge heads of other sizes require the use of an adapter. Caution Ensure the screw thread of both the WHT and gauge head are clean before assembly. 1. To assemble the WHT and gauge head, insert and screw the gauge head in to the front of the WHT by hand, as above. 2. Using a 13 mm spanner, grip the WHT head adapter across the flats. 3. Use a suitably sized spanner to grip the gauge head and tighten the thread to a maximum torque of 5 Nm. Caution It is essential to use a spanner to hold the WHT when tightening the gauge head to avoid damaging the hand tool. Exceeding the maximum torque on the WHT and gauge head assembly can cause damage to both components Issue10 Wigauge User Leaflet Page 8

9 3. Mechanical Adjustments Once the gauge head has been installed its rotational position can be adjusted by approximately 180º about the mounting axis. 1. Using a 3 mm A/F Hex key, undo the M6 grub screw pictured above. 2. Rotate the gauge head to the desired position. 3. Tighten the M6 grub screw to a recommended Nm torque. Note Large gauge heads may require a higher torque setting on the grub screw to prevent rotation through use. Caution Care must be exercised when using a large gauge head to avoid damaging the grub screw or WHT Issue10 Wigauge User Leaflet Page 9

10 4. Set up and Installation The WHT uses Bluetooth technology to communicate with a Bluetooth enabled PC running Windows 7 or later. This requires an initialization process to pair the WHT with the PC. The Bluetooth should be plug and play. Your WHT should appear in the list of names as WHT_xxxxxxxxxx (the x's will be replaced by a string of characters to form a name similar to: WHT_167A (if it doesn't appear after a while check the WHT is turned on then click 'Refresh'.)) The WHT pairing code/password is It will now show the final screen containing the list of Bluetooth connections which can now be closed. Your WHT Connection is now Set up! Note. Before running the Wireless Handtool Manager, make sure that you have paired your Handtools and have them switched ON (Steady Blue light at the Gauge end of the Handtool) Enhanced Security Function The latest Bluetooth protocol no longer supports legacy pairing and therefore we have now introduced our own security protocol at the application layer. This is achieved by allowing a device to be passcode enabled, requiring a set passcode to be sent once connected, that will prevent it from communicating until the sent passcode has been verified. This feature is disabled by default in the latest devices to ensure backwards compatibility with existing applications. Use the Configuration Manager to configure the passcode per device. o See the separate Configuration Manager manual for details. Once the passcode is activated, any user program must send the Passcode command to the tool as the first command after connection. o See the Handtool RS232 manual for command details. o Our Wireless Handtool Manager program does this automatically. Note. If passcode is enabled and Streaming is set ON, streaming will not commence until the passcode has been sent Issue10 Wigauge User Leaflet Page 10

11 5. Wireless support pack The Wireless support Pack for Windows, available for download from the Solartron website, contains the following WHT specific files: Wireless Handtool Manager application for Windows PCs (Windows 7onwards) o This enables users to quickly get up and running and provides access to the full range of commands and provides data logging capability. The Wireless Handtool Manager s.net library is available for linking into user applications o The associated.net manual is included. The Handtool can also be controlled directly by a user application using a virtual Com port. o The associated RS232 command list manual is included. The Configuration Manager application, which allows the WHT passcode to be activated. WHT Port Testing application & its C# source code are provided. o This demonstrates a reliable way of Bluetooth port opening and closing. The Orbit 3 Support Pack also needs to be installed if WHT firmware updates are required. This is also available for download from the Solartron website. Also, it requires the Microsoft.Net Framework 4.0 or newer to be installed on the PC. When installed, the WHT files and the Configuration Manager are available via the Wireless Suite shortcut that is installed on the desktop as part of the Wireless support pack Wireless Suite Dashboard The dashboard provides easy access to all of the Wireless applications, manuals and example programs.

13 6. Operating Modes 6.1. DATA TRANSMISSION STREAMING In this mode the WHT continually sends data to the controller. The stream rate can be adjusted. If a button is pressed in this mode the measurement being taken at the time the button is pressed is tagged. This tagged data can be captured by the controller SINGLE SHOT Tagged data is sent each time the button is pressed Note the button must be set to the correct state to ensure tagged readings are sent, this is the normal or default mode, but it is possible to set the buttons to other modes see section below on Button allocation 6.2. MEASURMENT TYPES The WHT can be set to measure in different modes, these are; ABSOLUTE The WHT transmits the absolute value of the measurement ZERO The current measurement is forced to zero and all subsequent measurements are taken from this zero. Zero can be applied either from the WHT buttons or from the controlling software. To use the WHT button, the button state must be first set up see section below on Button allocation. Zero can only be cleared from the controller Issue10 Wigauge User Leaflet Page 13

14 PRESET The current measurement is forced to a preset value and all subsequent measurements are taken from this preset value. Preset can be applied either from the WHT buttons or from the controller. To use the WHT button, the button state must be first set up see section below on Button allocation. Preset can only be cleared from the controller SCALING The measurement from the WHT may be scaled by a multiplication factor, The scaling can only be set or cleared from the controller software MAX (PEAK+) The WHT can be set up so that the most positive measurement is displayed. This can be set up only from the controller. The MAX (PEAK+) can only be reset from the controller MIN (PEAK-) The WHT can be set up so that the most negative measurement is displayed. This can be set up only from the controller. The MIN (PEAK-) can only be reset from the controller DIFF The WHT can be set up so that the difference between MAX and MIN is transmitted. This can be set up only from the controller. The DIFF can only be reset from the controller All of the above modes are either continuous transmission or on a button press Issue10 Wigauge User Leaflet Page 14

15 6.3. LIMITS Limits can be set to indicate within limit, a warning limit or out of limit. Red/Green limit Led s and Audible Buzzer only active when button is pressed to tag measurement. Red out of limit, Green within limit UPPER AND LOWER LIMITS UPPER AND LOWER WARNING LIMITS Flashes Red/Green when enabled. The warning limits can only be enabled by the controller AUDIBLE LIMIT Single beep or 3 slow beeps can be selected for either in or out of l limit The WHT can be set up so that the limit led s are as below IN LIMIT OUT OF LIMIT WARNING, If ENABLED Off No Indication No Indication No Indication In Limit Green No Indication Red/Green Out of Limit No Indication Red Red/Green In and Out of Limit Green Red Red/Green Issue10 Wigauge User Leaflet Page 15

19 7. Battery Packs and Charging The Wigauge system can be supplied with different battery packs and chargers for different applications Battery packs There are two types of battery pack as shown in the table below. Battery Pack Description Pack Colour Capacity Standard Battery Pack Used with either a smart charger or Mid grey 8 hours continual running trickle charger connected via a jack plug Inductive charged battery pack Used with an inductive charger cradle (no connection point for conventional chargers is fitted) Dark Grey/Black 5 hours continual running Note: Battery packs are supplied fully charged Removal and Replacement of Battery Packs Prior to removal ensure the tool and pack is clean to avoid contamination of internal connectors To remove the battery pack for replacement of charging turn the locking screw 90 degrees anticlockwise. Then pull the battery pack from the WHT. To replace the pack onto the WHT ensure that the locking screw is in the release position (see diagram), replace the pack onto the tool and lock by turning the locking screw 90 degrees clockwise Issue10 Wigauge User Leaflet Page 19

20 7.3. Chargers There are three types of chargers: Charger Type Battery Pack Type Charger Description Standard Smart Smart charge with integral Led that indicates Standard Battery Pack Charger charge status Trickle Charger Standard Battery Pack Trickle charger (100mA) continual charge Inductive Charger / Inductive charger cradle with integrated charging Inductive Battery Pack Cradle indication WARNING: Use of the wrong type of charger can cause damage to the equipment, ensure that the correct charging method is used for the application. CAUTION: Do not charge in ambient temperatures of more than 30 degc. (86 degf.) as this may degrade battery life SMART CHARGER The smart charger operates on three cycles, fast charge (1.5 A approx) until it detect that the batteries are almost at full charge, top up where the batteries are brought to maximum capacity with a pulsed charging current with a lower average current and trickle (30 ma) to sustain charging. The smart charger is designed to charge battery packs off line. For maximum battery life do not leave the charger connected to the battery pack. If using the smart charger in an application where it is left connected to the tool/battery for any length of time observe the following: Each time the charger is disconnected from the battery for more than 20 seconds it will reset. This forces the charger into high charge mode; it takes a minimum of 10 minutes before it switches into top up. If the charger is continually connected/disconnected this can result in the batteries being exposed to too much fast charge and result in overheating of the batteries Issue10 Wigauge User Leaflet Page 20

21 TRICKLE CHARGER The trickle charger provides a continual charge of 100 ma, this is sufficient to keep batteries charged in applications where the tool is continually being connected/disconnected from the charger and avoids overheating. Continual trickle charging does shorten the battery life INDUCTIVE CHARGER The inductive charger and cradle (used with the inductive battery pack only) charges the batteries when the tool is placed in the cradle. The inductive charger is powered from a 5Vdc power block. One power block can power up to 4 chargers. There are two indication lights: green: power connected to cradle, blue: charging. If the tool is not placed correctly into the cradle charging will not take place. When using the inductive charger ensure the following: Only use the chargers for the purpose intended as described in this manual. Do not use with devices that are not approved by Solartron. Do not operate if the equipment has been damaged Do not use on heated surfaces or in ambient temperatures greater than 30 degc. (86 degf.) Do not insert metallic objects inside the cradle of the inductive charger unit Issue10 Wigauge User Leaflet Page 21

22 8. Troubleshooting FAQ This section contains Troubleshooting solutions in an FAQ format I cannot get my COM port to work properly? If you have difficulty connecting the Bluetooth WHT to your application software it may be because the default COM port is being held by Windows. In this case use the custom setup and select a port manually Why is the WHT measuring in the opposite direction to the one expected? The WHT is factory configured to be functionally compatible with industry standard Internal Diameter gauge heads. This means that the probe inside the hand tool will read a decreasing count as it's tip is pushed inwards. If using a gauge head that measures an External Diameter or dimension, the SET DIRECTION command should be used to change the hand tool's direction of count Issue10 Wigauge User Leaflet Page 22
